Not too long after Keith Olbermann railed against NewsCorp for donating to the Republican Governor's Association, he himself donates to three Democratic candidates, and MSNBC prez has suspended him for it.
Howard Kurtz on why it was the right call.
Looking at Twitter, conservatives ranging from Andrew Breitbart and Bill Kristol believe MSNBC was wrong to suspend him. Keith's not a journalist, and GE can donate to campaigns but their employees can't?
Meanwhile his replacement did really well tonight. If MSNBC wants to reinstate some journalistic cred, utterly trashed on Election Night, they should let him ride the chair a few days. Besides, MSNBC saves about, what, $34,000 each night KeithO's not there?
